The Vintage V100 series guitars are undgergoing "at best" a change of ownership and at worst "retirement". Regardless of the outcome, due to the 30 years invested and awareness of the hugely variable quality over the years - some wonderful and some ....well not so wonderful.... I have decided I will be retiring my involvement regardless of the outcome as I know in my heart that I cannot personally continue to invest the energy and passion into a brand that I cannot believe will live up to my personal standards - and every single guitar brand I promote is one of a personal belief and conviction.
If they prove me wrong? Wonderful - and maybe they would even welcome me back (I remember the same happening with Gordon Smith guitars - very similar circumstances when I think about it? How odd....)
The good news? Cort guitars have been a top personal recommendation for 30 years and whilst their guitars are very slightly more expensive, they are in a whole different class of instrument.
I can now enjoy focusing on one thing well than spreading myself between two brands. I have always had a very personal connection with both brands and whilst sad to see Vintage go - It is also somewhat of a reief I have to say :(
If you were looking for a Vintage V100 Les Paul? Whilst they continue to give the illusion of all things being "as normal" - I would argue they are anything but and this picture is painted to enable themselves best opportunity of finding a buyer - but I personally dont want to sell guitars which I cannot provide a full manufacturer backed guarantee - or even know how the new ownership would support it if one existed - and my advice would be for you to consider this too.

Brilliant from start to finish. All three guys were involved at some point, and I can't fault how attentive you have all been - and so caring - Jake I really appreciate you promising to bar me from the store for the sake of my bank balance if I mention buying any more guitars for a while!!
Top, top service, with a smile - and a belly laugh or two along the way.
I love you guys! Be proud, Richard - Jon, Jake and Chris are the best 'behind the scenes' advert for Richards Guitars that you could possibly hope for.
I ordered my Furch Blue BARc SW back in January; Furch's quoted build time was accurate, and I collected the beast on 11th April. I left it until now to write a review as I wanted to test it both at home, and a a live gig, which is why I bought it.
It does exactly what I wanted it to do, delivering playability and lush tone, without any of the 'slack string intonation' issues that one can find when dropping a full step down on a guitar that's not designed for that.
What is especially pleasing though is the sheer beauty of this instrument; the Walnut back and sides are highly figured and very dark, and it's as good to look at as it is to play. Anyone wondering if they might be better served, aesthetically speaking, by ordering a Yellow BARc should give pause for thought - this Walnut is a joy to behold.
As always, my sincere thanks to Jon, Jake and Chris for their unending support and good humour; it's always a pleasure to be in your company, and thank you again for this amazing guitar.
